What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice cases can be complicated and require the evaluation of medical experts. At our law firm, we consult with specialists to determine whether the client was provided with treatment that met the acceptable standard of medical care. The input of these professionals allows us to build strong cases. Examples of medical malpractice include the following:

Misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis or failure to diagnose illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and other serious conditions

Failure to conduct appropriate tests

Surgical errors such as operating on the wrong body part or leaving medical instruments inside the patient

Birth injuries that result in abrasions, palsy, developmental delays

Medication, prescription and anesthesia errors

Emergency room errors

In addition to working to obtain fair compensation for patients who were injured by medical providers, we also make sure that clients obtain the proper treatment so that they can begin to recover from their injuries.

Remember — Medical malpractice claims must be filed within one year of the accident or event that caused your injuries. Consult an attorney as soon as you can.
